Are you also running any software decompression?  On the Mac, for example, the QuickTime MPEG extension
will disable any MPEG hardware decompressor, so if you have an MPEG card, you have to be sure that you're
not running competing software.  I don't know if this is true for QuickTime for the PC or for the
MediaPlayer.
